'unsupported image format' raw files 1DX?

Raw files from my Canon 1DX are not displaying in Aperture nor at all on either my iMac or Macbook - as neither thumbnail images or large images.  The files are there but no image.
Is this just a case of aperture and mac not yet up to date with latest raw files and we need to wait?
Its not good, I had to use canon's own software to access images - Digital Photo Professional

You mean Canon EOS-1D X?
That camera is supposed to be supported by Aperture 3, see the list of supported cameras:
Apple - Aperture - Technical Specifications - RAW Support
This camera has been added to Lion by the "Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update 3.13", have you upgraded your system to the latest version? You also might try to install the raw update
Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update 3.13
from the Apple support page: http://support.apple.com/downloads/#raw%20update
Is it only Aperture that does not see the raws? Can you import them in iPhoto or Image Capture?

  • Unsupported Image Format RAW (NEF) Nikon d7000 in Aperture 3, why?

    I just bought a Nikon D7000.  According to the Aperture 3 specs, it supports RAW (NEF) format from this camera.  However, I get the message that the image format, which loads as thumbnails in the viewer, is not supported.  I just downloaded the trial version of Aperture 3 (I'm not going to upgrade from my current version if it actually does NOT support this format).
    I'm running OS X 10.5.8 witn 2.4G Intel Core 2 Duo 4G DDR3 memory Macbook Pro.
    What other info do I need to provide to diagnose this?

    Technically, you should only need to verify that you have at least the RAW Compatibility Update 3.6:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1357
    Current version is 3.7 which can be found here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1386
    Note - I assume that the 3.7 would include 3.6, but am not sure.
    If you already have the correct RAW support for OS X and are importing new images into a new or trial library, you might try running the 'Repair Database' option found here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3805
    Good luck.

  • After loading Lion I cannot open some pictures. I get Unsupported Image Format. It tells me picture was taken with Canon EOS Rebel with unknown lens

    After loading Lion I cannot open open some pictures in Aperture. I get Unsupported Image Format, all files even the ones I can open are .JPG. Also it tells me picture was made using Canon EOS Rebel with unknown lens.

    You mention that 'most' of your files are DNG. Try
    running the effected files through Adobe DNG
    converter again and then import your reprocessed
    files to Aperture and see if the problem persists.
    I had a problem with a batch of D2x files converted
    to DNG which had been metadata tagged by
    PhotoMechanic (the evil app).
    B.T.W. You mention that you had been using Bridge.
    Are you getting any of the embedded XMP metadata
    coming into Aperture during the import process?
    Already tried that multiple times...no luck. I'm wondering though if it might be related to metadata as you suggest. I'm still trying different things to see what happens.
    I was able to alleviate the problem on one set of images by painstakingly searching my external drive for the oldest backups I could find - CR2 files from before DNG conversion. I then ran those through DNG Converter and tried importing them again (this time, I embedded NO thumbnail, but I'm not sure if that made the difference - I think it was more likely a fluke in the original conversion that caused the problem). This time, it worked.
    Now, the big problem is that I still have a couple hundred images for which I can't seem to locate the original CR2 files. I don't typically keep them after conversion, as I don't have the space for both.

  • Raw Files Appear Deleted or Corrupted Suddenly in Aperture with Unsupported Image Format Error

    I have been using Aperture 3, latest update, for the past year. Today, I tried to import new raw files from my new Sony RX1r and, as far as I can see, all raw files in Aperture give the "Unsupported Image Format" and alert symbol in the library where not only new files should be, but also ALL PREVIOUS RAW FILES. These files do no even show up as existing in the iPhoto Library.
    This is, needless to say, distressing, as hundreds and hundreds of photos seem lost. Also, the files show a reduced pixel size and file sizes all go to .5 Mb. Some of the photos seemed to show up initially and look fine until I tried to open them, then they all either disappear or show the Unsupported Image Format instead of the opened file. I have tried rebuilding the iPhoto library, but no help.
    I have looked in these discussions and see similar problems with Aperture. Perhaps, Apple has not made an update for the RX1r from the RX1 for raw files, but why should all older raw files now be corrupted, especially those recently made with my Olympus OM-D? Had no problem with Aperture until this disaster.
    Please help.

    Just an update. Restarted computer and attempted rebuilds of iPhoto library a couple more times and finally files and photos mostly recovered, except for those I had tried to open. Aperture seems to have a problem, or a host of them, dealing with RAW files, and there is no update yet for the Sony RX1R for Aperture or iPhoto. Lightroom 5, on the other hand, seems to work great with these files directly, so that will be where all photos go for now. Will iPhoto and Aperture just become old archives? It is so infuriating that Apple does not allow for simple importing and exporting compatibility with such an excellent program as Lightroom 5 just to protect their somewhat poorly supported Aperture. I've been a staunch Apple supporter and user since the 80's, but having more doubts about the direction this company is taking.

  • Aperture 3 and DNGs from LX5 raw files: unsupported image format

    My LX5 arrived, and I tried converting a raw file to DNG with Adobe DNG Converter 6.2.0.21 beta and importing it into Aperture. No luck: Aperture says it's an unsupported image format. I tried setting the compatibility as far back as possible in the preferences, and still no luck. Any idea why this doesn't work? I used Adobe DNG Converter multiple times to work with raw files from unsupported cameras, so it's a real surprise to get the unsupported image file message.
    —Andreas

    Unfortunately, this is more about Apple dragging its feet than a cutting edge issue. I got an LX3 and upgraded to Aperture 3 in February of this year. RW2s straight out of the camera always imported just fine. However, I've never been able to get a DNG generated from an RW2 with Adobe DNG converter to work. Interestingly, DNGs from another file format I use (PEF) work fine in Aperture.
    I submitted a issue report to Apple about the RW2 to DNG problem back in March, and like so many other suggestions to them, it seems to have vanished into the ether.

  • 10.5.2; Canon 1DsM3 Raw Files = "Unsupported Image Format" in Aperture

    Just did the update and pointed Aperture to a folder of Canon 1Ds Mark III raw files (standard raw files, no sRaw or anything like that). Thumbnail previews are grey and Viewer says, "Unsupported Image Format".
    Tried rebooting and verifying/fixing permissions. No help. No thumbnails, no images in Aperture.
    Canon 1Ds Mark III raw files do show fine in the finder and in Quick Look.
    Message was edited by: Jon Roemer

    I have the same exact issue.
    I do get the same error with 1Ds MIII raws.
    Also the G9 raws are not working.
    Finally after 3 months it's still not working
    I could imagine that there is the need to edit some property file (like I have read before in the forum somewere) to add the new cameras to the list of supported cameras.
    Are the D3, D300 raws working?

  • Why do G3 raw files show as "Unsupported Image Format" in Aperture?

    I am moving towards shooting in raw, and as an experiment I imported some sample raw files from the publicly available text images on the Photography Blog. When I try to look at these images, I get a black screen with a warning triangle and the message "Unsupported Image Format". This happens for all the different raws, including some G3 raw files (.rw2). Oddly, it can read the EXIF metadata and has all the information about shooting settings etc. If I import the same files into iPhoto, it displays the images properly and allows editing, etc.
    I have a workaround, which I've also tried with my Fuji X10 raws (still not supported on MacOSX), of running them through the Adobe DNG converter, and then looking at the dng files which seem to work fine. But it's a pain.
    This has to be one of those simple "D'oh" things, but I can't see what I'm doing wrong!

    Thanks Leonie, the second part revealed that I have been an idiot, although the behaviour is still surprising. The folder has a mix of DMC-G3 raws, Fuji X10 raws, and DNG files produced from both. For the Fuji X10 files, the DNGs produce images and the raws produce the "Unsupported file format" message. The latter is not surprising, the former a little surprising (as I've heard that DNGs only work when the associated raw works). The last two remarks don't directly address my problem (or perceived problem), but they perhaps set the frame for my expectations.
    For the G3 files, when I look at it more closely, the G3 raws DO display correctly, while the G3 DNGs give "Unsupported file format". I had managed to fool myself into thinking it was the other way round (Aperture does rather hide the full file name).
    So I was completely wrong, Aperture does support DMC-G3 raw, it's just it's DNG support that's a bit weird. However, it's on my side if I need to use X10 raws (via the DNG step). In fact so far I've given up the latter, as the noise levels are so much greater than in Fuji's in-camera JPEG conversion.
    So, thanks very much for your help. Now I remember the first rule of system support: never trust what the customer tells you! (I know you're not really customer support, but I guess the same rule applies.) Thanks again

  • When I try to import raw files from my nikon d600 I get the message Unsupported image format, When I try to import raw files from my nikon d600 I get the message Unsupported image format

    When I import raw files from my Nikon D600 into Aperture I get a tryangle sign with "unsupported image format"

    Latest Adobe DNG converter (7.2) DOES indeed convert NEF pictures coming from a D600.
    Head up to Adobe's website and download the app.
    You'll only miss the focus information (focus distance and focus sensors used), but you'll be able to work with raw and not rely on jpg only!

  • Nikon D800 raw files "unsupported image format".

    also aperture seems the last version
    only Nikon software seems to work
    thank you

    Hey Andrea
    sorry for the late reply. Have been on some working holidays
    My setting is : typ>>>>  no

    The only information, which is not transmitted is the adjustment level of the AF-finetuning
    Good luck and hope it works meanwhile also with your camera

  • Canon G7x and unsupported image format icon with RAW files.

    When RAW files downloaded from Canon G7x get "Unsupported Image Format" message. Using iMac with 10.9.5  and Aperture 3.5.1.  This is a new camera and is not on the supported list.  Is there a way around this?  Now that Aperture is static will new cameras continue to be added to supported list?

    The only way 'around' it is to upgrade to the required Aperture and/or OS version.  So you will need to wait for that to happen. In the meantime you could shoot Raw+JPG, use the JPGs now and when (and if) the camera is supported (or you move to a different program) you will have the Raw files.
    As for camera updates in Aperture, no one here can say what Apple intends, we;re just users here like yourself and even discussing this is technically against the TOU of these forums.
    But I think it is safe to assume, as Apple will continue to support Raw processing and that the Raw processing is done at the OS level and they have said they will support Aperture at least through Yosemite's life cycle that any new Raw format added to OS X will reusable by Aperture. But that's only a guess.

  • Nikon D70 RAW files now get "Unsupported Image Format"

    Prior to March 12th, everything was working fine with my D70 Raw files. I now get the maroon "Unsupported Image Format" (USF) when I select the images that were previously fine. They show up for a fraction of a second before I get the error. I tried rebuilding the database to no avail. I can export the RAW files and open them in Photoshop so they are OK. Also now when I import from my D70 I get the gray box instead of the image and a letterbox maroon USF message, the EXIF data still imports and is associated with the image. Help. I did upgrade to 1.1.1
    Dual 1.8Ghz Powermac G5 2GB RAM Radeon X800 XT   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    Well, I can't really put my finger on it. I know for sure it happened post 1.1 upgrade, but it happened with 1.0 as well (I didn't do any troubleshooting when it first happened, just re-imported and it was fine.) The last time it happened it was the last 20 images on the original CF card, mostly in succession, but there were a few images that were still able to be read okay inside of that 20 image string. I reimported from the original card (thank God I had not erased yet!) and it was fine.
    At least I know to keep my originals outside of aperture, what a space wasting bummer! I don't think I have any bad RAM because I've been running for 2 years without any real problems... The minor problems have happened, I believe with very tough weather conditions (humidity) and I experienced problems on all my Macs and even at work on windows. Maybe it was sun flares or static electricity, I don't know. The other issue is that my a/c power dips to low voltage often and my UPS switched to battery. I have a better UPS which always outputs 120v even when things sag or jump.
    The only other thing I can possibly think of is that I have my Aperture library on a new Seagate 300GB drive that has only been used for images and sits dormant in my system except for scratch disk and Aperture. Actually, I did use it for about a month or two mirroring my boot drive with no errors, so I think the drive is good. Grr!
    Troubleshooting rare occurances without have access to trace level data *****! (At work we can take a trace dump from our equipment and the guys can see pretty quickly what happened, and if it is hardware or software issue.)
    To clarify, which Dual 1.8 do you have? The June 2004 one with only 4 RAM slots, or the 2003 one that was added to the original lineup with 8 RAM slots?

  • D800 Raw files produce occasional 'unsupported image format'

    Is anytone else having problems with some Nikon D800 raw (NEF) files in the latest Aperture version? Most of the files are fine, but some are 'Unsupported Image Format'. Aperture sometime shows them, then they vanish and are replaced with a grey triangle. Then randomly they sometimes come back.
    It seems to just be the Nikon D800 raws casuing this. Any thoughts on a fix?
    Thanks

    It is unlikely to be caused by the recent Aperture update because it started happening to me just a few days ago (Nikon D2x NEF/JPEG pix) and I have been using Aperture version 3.3.2 under OS 10.7.4 for a long time.
    Reconnecting the files in a referenced workflow has been resolving the problem for me.

  • Unsupported Image Format after opening a file in Photoshop.

    As from today,I am getting an unsupported Image Format after opening a file in Photoshop. I have made nothing more than as crop on the image. Why?

    Ernie, I misread your post indeed. I never saw a option to send RAW files to an external editor. All I can see is the option to chose what editor and then specify if PSD or TIFF is used. I always use PSD, usually 16bit and in one other installation in 8bit (due to RAM restrictions there).
    So Aperture creates the PSD version and PS edits that very version and saves it back into aperture. This is where I sometimes () get that "unsupported image" problem.
    I think this also is what Mike does: select a RAW master, use an external editor -> Aperture creates a PSD or TIFF. I haven't tried the TIFF option , though.
    My main point was: it all worked for a very long time and with the latest updates it is broken.
    have a good day.

  • I have a fujifilm X100, at first there were no issues viewing my RAW photos but now all of a sudden the pictures come up as "unsupported image format"

    I have a fujifilm X100, at first there were no issues viewing my RAW photos but now all of a sudden the pictures come up as "unsupported image format".  How do I fix this?

    No, I did not do any updates between the time that the files were viewable and when they were not.  I was actually without an internet connection for a few days when the problem started.  I reported the bug to apple and have since been contacted by them asking for a few sample images so they can figure out the problem, so I'm hoping they come up with an answer for me.

  • EOD350D/ Digital Rebel raw - unsupported image format ?????

    From the raw tech spec page:
    Supporting the RAW formats from all leading digital camera manufacturers (including Canon and Nikon), Aperture provides optimized support for such market leading cameras as the Canon EOS 1Ds Mark II, Canon EOS 20D, and Nikon D2x as well as the highly popular Canon Digital Rebel and Nikon D50. It also supports the Adobe DNG format.

    Well, I must be doing something wrong. Ik can see the thumbnails, but once imported I always get 'Unsupported Image Format'.... This is what most aften see in Aperture. I must be overlooking things....
